Ed Sec
Betsy (I am a billionaire, I don’t do public education) said in a hearing
that it would be up to states to decide if federal law which prohibits
discrimination would be enforced.
She went on not to say “I grew up in a prejudiced and bigoted
household and had the benefit of private education. If I had gone to public schools I might
have not been able to develop my sense of privilege and my biases. Many parents today are decent,
compassionate and fair minded people so if we expect kids to become
bigoted and prejudiced adults they are going to have to learn it in
private schools like I did.”

Speaking
of Donnie, apparently he told the Pope that he would not forget what the
Pope told him. In a surprising development what the
Pope actually said was not leaked to the press because, as the White House
staff pointed out, Trump forgot what it was the Pope said.

Ben
Carson, the first Secretary of Housing dedicated to eliminating decent
housing for low income families has said that poverty is a state of
mind. So it does no good to help
these people, they just want to be poor.

The
NYT has reported that Trump will disregard his pledge to donate his
foreign profits to charity. Trump
is reported to be furious this story is out there because as he is saying in
private he doesn’t donate any profits from
his domestic businesses either so what’s the big deal. As for going back on an earlier promise,
Trump did not say, “C’mon, that’s what I do. Haven’t
you people figured that out yet?”
